Assignment1: Paparazzi

     Paparazzi are photographers who follow some famous people in their private life. In modern society, paparazzi are quite common. They often create a great number of scandals which are related to celebrities. Besides, they even provide a number of private photos for newspaper office. For many celebrities, paparazzi are the bane of their life.


     What do you think about paparazzi? Some people think that paparazzi bring us advantages, while other people think that paparazzi bring us disadvantages. The main advantage is that paparazzi can help us supervise government official or famous people. When some politicians receive bribes, paparazzi will reveal the secret to the public. In addition, paparazzi also expose the unsavory conduct right away when celebrities have extramarital affairs. As a result of these gossip, our life gain a lot of pleasure.

     Although paparazzi bring us lots of fun in our life, they can have a bad effect on society. For example, they often pry into the private matters of other people and violate people’s privacy. Moreover, they always focus on some petty things. To make matters worse, they exaggerate the importance of the event or make up a fake news in order to attract the public. As a matter of fact, it is a behavior which does not respect other’s privacy.

     As far as I am concerned, I am opposed to paparazzi. I think that paparazzi should be stopped. Recently, I read an article. I am in favor of the statement. “I think that paparazzi should leave the celebrities alone. We all have lives to live. It is no wonder they are under the gun to disappear from these photographers.” Anders Grenvik, Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio said.

     Paparazzi do try their best to perform their duties, but we should also try to recognize what thing is correct and what thing is wrong. Furthermore, I think that the paparazzi should take appropriate measures to send message. For instance, they should not exaggerate the facts excessively. Most importantly, the paparazzi should concentrate on something beneficial and something helpful for the public.
